Why two hours ago, from the crest of
Mount Helena, from the dome of the Capt.
| tul from every roof and eIninence OF our
city did thirty Thousand eyes peer toward
| ,he Northern valley and watch with eager
| ness for the curling smoke that should
herald the approach nf the first train over
| the Monta, a entral? Why did thousands
upon thousands, with banners and music,
| rush to the station capture the passengers
and bring them to this temple, where
speech and eorg. and shout. proclaim
cav OF Jubilee? The answer is that the pro-
gressive spirit OF the Territory is infa AIMED
| to ecstacy over the grandest triumph OF
beneiicent genius that the age has wit
nessed.'' Spe. king of Mr.. Hill, the Gov
